Troubleshooting
Buckles are difficult to fasten.
Ensure the buckle prong is aligned with the hole and press firmly. If new, the leather may be stiff; gentle manipulation can help.
Leather appears dry or cracked.
Apply a quality leather conditioner according to the product's instructions. Regular conditioning will prevent this.
Attachment feels too loose or too tight.
Adjust the straps using the brass buckles. Ensure it's secure enough for control but not so tight that it causes discomfort or restricts the horse.
Brass buckles show signs of tarnishing.
Gently polish the brass buckles with a soft cloth and a brass cleaner. Avoid harsh chemicals that could damage the leather.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Ensure the horse is properly restrained.
- Unbuckle the brass buckles on the Mackey Stallion Attachement.
- Attach the central ring to the desired bit rings on the horse's bridle or halter. The 3-way attachment should allow for flexibility in how it connects.

- Adjust for a snug but comfortable fit, ensuring it does not interfere with the horse's mouth or breathing.

Care:

- Condition the leather periodically with a suitable leather conditioner to prevent drying and cracking.
- Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
- Avoid exposing the leather to excessive moisture.
